Danica Bryant’s “Morals” Selected as New Song of the Day on 13th Floor
Danica Bryant, a talented indie-pop artist based in Pōneke, has once again demonstrated her gift for writing relatable songs with catchy melodies in her latest single and video release, “Morals.” The song, infused with an introspective and pulsating sound, combines elements of country-pop with synths to create a rich and emotionally resonant experience. With an uplifting key change and Danica’s beautiful vocals, “Morals” encourages listeners to show themselves kindness and compassion.
